Hello, my name is Ashanti. My picture is me and an invention that I soon will make! My invention is about a computer that can stand. So you will not have to lean forward to type or something else that you might do on a computer. Also, it can help you so it will not hurt your back. My invention will really help, so please use it!

PROBLEM:
How Do We Build a Catapult?
ASK:
What is Our Challenge?
The Angry Bird Competition is on … Angry Bird and Piggy Friends unite! To retrieve your stolen eggs, Angry Birds, your team will need to build a catapult with only the materials provided to you, as outlined in the following steps of this “Small Group Challenge: Marshmallow Catapults”: Challenge: Each group will design and build a marshmallow catapult using the following materials: 1 meter of masking tape; 2 plastic cups; 4 rubber bands; 2 plastic spoons; 2 paper clips; 15 cm x 15 cm piece of cardboard; large (standard size) and small (mini size) marshmallows to launch. Goal: Launch a marshmallow at least 5 meters (in the air) and not outside of a ½ meter width. What is a Catapult?

A catapult is a weapon used to launch missiles, during the olden days for war. The catapult gets its energy by the soldiers. They would tug on the rope that held the arm. That causes the cords to get tighter and twisted at once. Then it throws whatever is in the arm to hurl as far as 1,500 feet. The materials that I would need to build a catapult are: a rubber band, string, wood, sticks, leafs, plastic, and foam.
IMAGINE:
What are Some Solutions?
What is the Best Possible Solution?
Why did Our Team Choose This Solution?
PLAN:
What is a Diagram / Orthographic Design of Our Prototype?
CREATE:
What does Our Finished Construct Look Like?
IMPROVE:
What works, what doesn't work, and what could work better from Our Testing?
What are We going to do to address the Challenges We Faced with Our Construct?
PRESENTATION:
How do We Catapult Ourselves into Problem Based Learning?
